Harry Golden: Bestselling Author, Raconteur, and Advocate for Civil Rights with His Irreverent Newspaper was written by Kimberly Marlowe Hartnett. This mini biography is based upon research Hartnett completed for her book Carolina Israelite: How Harry Golden Made Us Care about Jews, the South, and Civil Rights (The University of North Carolina Press, 2015; 2018; Audible; Braille.) 

The site features materials from the Harry Golden Papers and other collections at J. Murrey Atkins Library, The University of North Carolina at Charlotte. Members of the Special Collections and University Archives team at Atkins Library put it together. Curator of Rare Books and Manuscripts Dawn Schmitz was the editor and curator. Research support and digitization was provided by student intern Aiyana Jones under the guidance of Instruction Archivist Randi Beem. 

The site was launched in 2024, the 80-year anniversary of the publication of the first issue of The Carolina Israelite.
